Hur QBL-metoden "själv-tester" påverkar Imposter Syndrome (Swedish)
Abstract [en]

This study examines the ratio between ability to learn and confidence in students in the online learning environment within two learning styles, Question-Based Learning (QBL) and Traditional Learning (TL), to be able to gain more insights of the phenomenon ‘Imposter Syndrome’. There isn't any previous research that analyzes the ability-confidence ratio for QBL or Traditional Learning in online learning environments so current insight of this is currently lacking. Also important to note that this study mainly only concerns itself with one of the Question-Based Learning strategies, namely that of repeated or regular self testing. In this study, both confidence and ability were measured across 4 subscales each in students at KTH in order to perform a correlation analysis between the subscales of the two learning styles. The aim is to gain insight into the relationship between confidence and abilities, which could be useful for teachers in assisting their students’ utilization of QBL and how it affects ‘imposter syndrome’. Data was gathered through a survey which was published on several forums for KTH students. The survey received 97 responses. The data was analyzed using Spearman’s rank correlation analysis, which revealed a significant correlation between the subscales within confidence and ability for TL and QBL. The results show that a student’s ability to learn is strongly associated with their confidence in more Traditional Learning settings than with the QBL approach of self-testing.

Abstract [sv]

Denna studie undersöker förhållandet mellan förmåga at lära sig och förtroende hos elever i online-lärmiljön inom två inlärningsstilar, Question-Based Learning (QBL) och Traditional Learning (TL), för att kunna få fler insikter om fenomenet "Imposter Syndrome". Det finns ingen tidigare forskning som analyserar ability-confidence ration för QBL eller Traditional Learning i online-inlärningsmiljöer så aktuell insikt om detta saknas för närvarande. Det är också viktigt att notera att denna studie huvudsakligen bara handlar om ett av QBL lärandestrategierna, nämligen upprepade eller regelbundna självtestningar. I denna studie mättes både confidence och ability över 4 delskalor vardera hos studenter vid KTH för att kunna utföra en korrelationsanalys mellan delskalorna för de två inlärningsstilarna. Syftet är att få insikt i sambandet mellan självförtroende och förmågor, vilket kan vara användbart för lärare för att hjälpa sina elever att använda QBL och hur det påverkar "imposter syndrome". Data samlades in genom en undersökning som publicerades på flera forum för KTH-studenter. Enkäten fick 97 svar. Data analyserades med Spearmans rangkorrelationsanalys, som visade en signifikant korrelation mellan delskalorna inom förtroende och kunskap för Traditional Learning och QBL. Resultaten visar att en students förmåga att lära sig är starkt förknippad med deras förtroende för mer Traditional Learning än med QBL-metoden för självtestning.
